Wiz Khalifa

The 26-year-old rapper, who's real name is Cameron Thomaz, was charged with possession of under two ounces of marijuana, booked and released on a $300 bond after he was searched by Transportation Security Administration when he tried to board a plane without an identification document at the El Paso International Airport in El Paso, Texas, Sunday May 25, 2014.

Aside from this mug shot, nothing was funny about Randy Travis’
August 2012 arrest on DWI charges after he was found naked on a road near his home
in the North Texas town of Tioga. Two weeks later, he was accused of
assault after brawling with his girlfriend’s estranged husband in the parking
lot of a Plano
church. Witnesses to the fight told TMZ that the county legend appeared “extremely
intoxicated.” That same week, many
feared he’d gone over the edge for sure when Frisco police found a pickup he
owns smashed up and overturned in a field. But authorities later determined someone else had wrecked the truck. He's expected to plead guilty to DWI in the case today.

Daryl Hannah, who rose to fame in the '80s by starring in movies like "Blade Runner" and "Splash" and by being Jackson Browne's girlfriend, is now making a splash as an environmental activist. In August 2011, she was arrested in front of the White House while protesting the Keystone XL oil pipeline. In October, she brought her distaste for the pipeline to a farm in the North Texas town of Winnsboro, where she stood in front of heavy equipment in an attempt to halt work on it. She was charged with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

Fiona Apple was left feeling like a criminal after being nabbed in September 2012 on drug charges at the Sierra Blanca border checkpoint in West Texas. As her now-infamous pouty mug shot suggests, she didn't take her arrest on hash possession charges very well. At a concert in Houston two days later, she blasted the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office for her treatment during her brief jail stay. To which sheriff's office spokesman Rusty Fleming responded in an open letter, "Two weeks ago nobody in the country cared about what you had to say — now
that you've been arrested it appears your entire career has been jump-started.
Don't worry Sweetie, I won't bill you...
Next, have you ever heard of Snoop, Willie or Armand Hammer? Maybe if you
would read something besides your own press releases, you would have known
BEFORE you got here, that if you come to Texas with dope, the cops will take
your DOPE away and put YOU in jail." Speaking of those other folks ...

Snoop Dogg

Veteran West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg is another unapologetic inhaler. When he was arrested in Sierra Blanca in January 2012, authorities said he freely admitted the joints they found on his tour bus were his. And he apparently had no hard feelings, proudly showing his Texas colors when he made a publicity appearance in Austin two months later.

Texas icon Willie Nelson is no stranger to the Hudspeth County Jail. The unrepentant weed smoker was busted in Sierra Blanca in 2010, although he didn't exactly have to face the music. In fact, Hudspeth
County Attorney C.R. "Kit" Bramblett was willing to let him off for a song. Specifically, Bramblett wanted Nelson to sing his 1975 hit "Blue
Eyes Crying in the Rain," saying that would serve as his community
service. "You can bet your (expletive) I'm not going to be mean to Willie Nelson," he told CNN. A judge who wasn't so star-struck frowned on that plea deal, and the case still hasn't been resolved.

Hammer had to do his social networking at the Hudspeth
County Jail after he was busted on drug charges in November 2011. Authorities said Hammer, who recently opened
the Bird Bakery in Alamo Heights with wife and S.A. native Elizabeth Chambers, was
on his way to the bakery hauling a batch of marijuana-laced brownies and
cookies. No word on whether the goodies were bound for the Bird’s counter.

Nelly

Weeks after Fiona Apple's bust at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint, authorities said they found drugs and a gun on rapper Nelly's tour bus there. Nelly was briefly detained in the October 2012 incident, but was released when another man admitted to owning the drugs and gun.

McConaughey was arrested in 1999, in Austin, for the infamous naked bongo incident when police found marijuana in his home. Remember, if you're going to play bongos naked in your home, keep it down. In the end, he was found guilty of violating the noise ordinance and paid a $50 fine.
